Kejriwal's Strategic Mission: AAP's Goa Gambit

Arvind Kejriwal commences a three-day visit to Goa, challenging the BJP-Congress rule and highlighting issues like corruption and crime. AAP is focusing on Goa's political landscape as part of its national expansion efforts, with Atishi appointed as the state's in-charge ahead of 2027 elections.

Arvind Kejriwal, the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), is set to begin a pivotal three-day tour of Goa, aimed at engaging with party leaders and volunteers in the region.

Kejriwal has accused the longstanding BJP-Congress alliance of perpetuating 'gundaraj' in the state, drawing attention to pressing issues such as illegal construction, rampant corruption, and a deteriorating law-and-order situation.

This visit comes as AAP seeks to strengthen its political foothold in Goa ahead of the 2027 elections, having already made its mark with two seats in the 2022 assembly elections.
